Management

In summing up my diabetic food journals thus far... I have been eating 'this way' since 2009. I am in the best fitness of my adult life, I have normal weight, normal blood pressure and normal blood sugars.

I want to have non-diabetic normal blood sugar levels.
Why? Because we know that diabetes related complications occur at higher levels of blood sugar. High blood sugar is toxic to every cell in the body. Toxic levels of blood sugar harm all of our cells and therefore our organs. This toxicity causes retinopathy, neuropathy, organ failure, amputations, etc etc.
Why in the hell would I want diabetic blood sugar levels?

This is NOT an April Fool’s post… it is NOT. If you eat and move as I do… I will all but guarantee it will add years to your life and add life to your years. I am doing another experiment. You can see previous posts on it here […]

I had to drive my son back to Wilmington, NC and yesterday was my first full day. I wanted to give you an idea of my ‘day’ so you would see that at 50 years old, as a former diabetic and formerly obese person… I am TRULY THRIVING!!! … not […]

In the post from yesterday, “Fats … AND Red Meat Linked to Type 2 Diabetes?? ” I started out by discussing how I evaluate nutritional and fitness information. 1) Evaluate the information based on my own experience. 2) Search through my Blog Roll to see what fellow paleo adherents say […]

Tomorrow, 8/1 … will be my two year primal anniversary. This is important to me for one reason … As I went lower and lower carb after my diabetes diagnosis in February 2009 and went fully primal August 1, 2009 I began to tell more and more people about my […]

My lowER FAT primal experiment (Round 1) has been over for two weeks now. I’m running behind on my postings. Before I start… I want to say this… this experiment was NOT low fat… it is lowER fat. :) If I have learned ONE THING in my two years of […]

I have not provided an update on my blood sugars in quite awhile. After amost two years of following a HIGH FAT meal plan (averaging @ 66% of my calories from fat) … and a 26 day experiment of VERY HIGH FAT (77% of calories from fat) I decided to […]

Today, on the 4th of July, attention in the US is on celebrating our nation’s independence. As is ‘the usual’ my thoughts turn to this world’s growing health problems and the growing drug ‘dependence’ it’s causing. Diabetes Drug Free since 2009 Insulin Free since 2009 Diabetes Services free since 2009 […]

Not just for diabetics but for all of us, the greatest obstacle to living a long and healthy life? The medical industry. The medical industry, including doctors, nutritionist and diabetes educators cause so much harm… every damn day. When it comes to diabetes care – you must question everything. Initials […]

Nope… my streak ending is not on the same level as …. Cal Ripken’s 2,632 consecutive games played nor Byron Nelson’s 11 consecutive PGA tour wins… Background For breakfast yesterday, I ate nothing as I normally do, those in the primal/paleo community generally call this intermittent fasting, click here for more […]
